Wow saving the thumb from hellish sprint sounds good.on ps any controller able to do this?? Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is get a Scuf. I believe they have similar paddles you can adjust to do this. Not 100% sure though.

I have a PS4 so I've never tried the Elite but I think the elite controller certainly brings a lot to the table, in some ways maybe too much though. I could hardly imagine using all 4 paddles, but I like the idea of the removable thumbsticks and trigger locks. And using it for sprinting I think is a really good idea.

The elite is a cheaper scuff controller. Microsoft had to partner with scuff to even make them and pay them a ton of money while doing it lol. Scuff already had all the parents on what Microsoft wanted to they had to pay to use the rights. They actually don't make much money on them if you look at the numbers because they are doing the Sony thing and selling them for cheaper hoping to move more units and make up for it. But they are not Sony. And can't move even half of the units somy does lol Some people say the Xbox elite is just as good as the scuff for Xbox. I didn't feel any difference when I used them side by side but I'm a Sony guy. I just happen to have a large group of friends that are all very involved gamers haha

I've gone thru 3 or 4 xbox one scufs in 2 or 3 years, some only lasted me a couple months because the thumbsticks broke/ripped way too fast or they got stuck in a certain position, which made them unusable. That's something that shouldn't happen when dropping 250$+ on a controller. I've had an elite since it's been released and i can't see those problems happening on it any time soon. It's much better quality imo and the reason for themselling them cheaper thanscuf is because they are mass produced and cost close to nothing to makeunlike a scuf. The only thing that needed a lot of getting used to was the paddle placement opposed to the scuf, but once i figured it out i didn't have any problems. I advise every xbox player who wants to get a scuf, to get anelite instead, there're only benefits.

You bought new controllers because of the thumbsticks? Replacements from Scuff cost ten dollars! Have you really even had scuff? Not debating which controller is better, but your story doesn't make sense to me. Maybe i'm missing something?

The only thing I can say to that is from what I saw of using the two controllers, Xbox elite vs scuf, is the thumb sticks on the elite are stainless or some other metal compared to plastic in the scuf 's. This is a common problem and your right 100% that should not happen on a 200$+ controller. If you get on the scuf message boards that is something people scream about is that they need to make them metal sticks not plastic with a metal housing that they roll on.
